I think you should take igofast along, while we do tease/lecture him about the way he drives, i'll bet he can do a perfect no tc/vsc launch from all his PRACTICE~. Seriously thou, take him with you.
I agree.I'm not afraid to admit that i drive 'the way i drive'. But anyways, i was kidding..I live in california and me driving to texas? NO WAY. Have Fun without me.
And also.. llamaboiz it's not actually 'we' its actually you and a couple other guys..HAHA
mike... i beat you by atleast a car everytime... we will measure out a 1/4 mile and video it next time!
also.. the street was almost 1/2 of a mile.. we were running on half of it.. so it was a little more than a 1/8 mile
bc i could get up to 90 mph.. but when i went to an 1/8 mile track in alabama i couldnt get over 82 mph

Hopefully you'll understand this. Street racing is dangerous and people who have no way been involved in this activity have gotten badly hurt and even killed because someone had to prove that their car was the fastest. You have written on a public forum seeking encouragement to engage in a reckless activity (race other cars on public streets) and, in response, I have chosen to exercise my right as a member of this forum to politely express dissent.

M5 has 3.15 ratio rear dif gears, Is 350 has 4.08 ratio. That has to help the Lex' a little bit.
There isn't anything meaningfull about comparing final drive ratios between different cars. For all we know, the M5 might have even lower total gearing to the ground.

Cool. So the 4.08 gears that we have really aren't all that low after all. I wonder when someone will develop some other ring and pinion options for us...
BTW, were both of these cars running stock sized wheels / tires? If so, the M5 would gain back some of its gearing by having smaller diameter tires.
